I have an old piano stool with screw type height adjustment. It hasn't been used in quite a wile and the round seat will not turn. It is in the full down position. Could the steel threaded rod be seized? Should I try spraying some bolt release or anticize liquid on the threaded rod where it goes down into the base>\? Thanks Murray- 4 replies

When I bought my little laser engraver, I didn't really think things thru about how/where I was going to use it. Setting up to engrave different turnings is a challenge. Partly because the laser's working area is pretty small and partly because of the limited focus distance. I mounted the laser on a sub-base so I could clamp it to keep it stationary, but focus adjustments were challenging. Eventually I mounted the laser on my bench drill press. Using the drill press table height adjustment, the box I made for the laser storage and scraps of wood I could get the settings pretty close. Making the critical last focus adjustments meant trying to reach around the setup and tweaking the drill press table crank- a real pain because of the location. I thought if I could make an adjustable, axillary table with a more easily accessibly adjustment control; then I could set the drill press table to a height close to what I need. Then use the axillary table for the precise location. In hind sight, I would have saved a lot of wasted materials had I drawn this in Sketchup first. The "scissor lift" mechanism is the second version (first version seen in the pieces above/left in first picture). Fortunately, all the materials came from scraps and hardware already in the shop. Without the table and lead screw- 4 angles From the top- Works pretty good. Haven't set up the laser yet to actually do engraving. The lead screw is 1/4 x 20 all thread.

Saw was found at a garage sale a while back.....most of the teeth on one edge were worn off...$2.... Finally got it back from the Sharpening Service over in Piqua, OH....between the 2 saws I had dropped off a few weeks ago...Price for the 2 saws to be sharpened? $10... So, what is so different about the Bishop No. 10 adjustable saw? Depending on which set of teeth you want to use...the blade can be slid out, flipped over. Instead of the 9ppi Rip teeth, you can set up the 11ppi cross cut teeth.....the "bar" can be set anywhere on the blade,by sliding the blade up or down. Out on the toe of the blade, there are a bunch of "teeth" that keep the bar from moving. The bar can also be used as a depth stop.. The lever on the side of the handle tightens the handle onto the bar, then onto the blade. Locking things in place. Kind of fussy to set up just right...blade uses the bar to stay quite stiff in the cut...

According to my 1/2 brother, this belonged to my father. It is made by"MARSHALL-WELLS" and has a patent date of "OCT 29 07" . It doesn't look like it but I cleaned all the crud off it. Appears to have been chrome plated. Should I have it re-plated? Maybe have the blade re-blued" Is it worth it? Any other suggestions?

Its about 2" long by 3/8" cir and is adjustable. It seems to be froze and won't turn. I don't want to break it, I could soak it in something to get it loose. It has ( I'll call them teeth ) on one end 8 teeth. I looking for someone to tell me what this thing is Preston

Good morning guys, I'm in need of a workbench/assembly table which is light, put up easily and can be adjusted because it sits on a slanted driveway. I have a large table to build which I just can't fit inside. So I need it to be flat and sturdy, for the glue up. Any thoughts.

I just purchased a very nice James Swan draw knife for my aspiring post and rung chair making venture I am about to embark on. The handles are adjustable, which I am not too crazy about, but the steel is excellent with these Swan tools. And the price was right. Can't wait to get the mail in the next week and tune it up and rejuvenate the handles and put it to wood. A little history on the James Swan Tool Co. http://www.davistownmuseum.org/bioSwan.html
